I am getting issue in creating shortcut in Wix. When I give exe name or path (without space) in shortcut target attribute then shortcut created.

But when I give exe name or path (with space) in shortcut target attribute then shortcut not creted.

Below is working code (exe name without space).

<DirectoryRef Id="StartupFolder">
      <Component Id="MyComponentId" Guid="myguid">
        <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut"
              Name="MyAppName"
            Description="MyApp Description"
             Target="[#MyTestApp.exe]"
             WorkingDirectory="MyAppDirectory"/>

and this below code is working (exe name with space).

<DirectoryRef Id="StartupFolder">
      <Component Id="MyComponentId" Guid="myguid">
        <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut"
              Name="MyAppName"
            Description="MyApp Description"
             Target="[#My Test App.exe]"
             WorkingDirectory="MyAppDirectory"/> 

So just want to know that when I give exe name or path (with space) in shortcut target attribute then shortcut is cretaed or not ?

And if created then how can I do that.

Thanks.
